There are plenty more out there. They usually air every week on Wednesday on the Discovery Channel. In fact, the fishes in barrels is kinda old compared to how many have come out.

Really!? Damn, better keep up with things better.

New episode:

- Hit the Ground running
- You can't polish ****
- Ending with a bang

Very humorous episode indeed.

Yeah, that one was funny, espesially the Ending With a Bang. They blew up a moped!

I found the poop polishing funny. Especially when Adam accidentally blew up a piece of poo on a belt sander.

Definately one of the best and funniest episodes ever. We inputed at the same time. I was talking about Beer Goggles. Never-the-less, poop explosion was good too.

I love watching Myth Busters, although my girlfriend hates it when she is there and I'm watching it.

Viewer request episode again today:

1. Burning a Piano will make it explode. - Busted
2. Tie a person over where a bamboo shoot is growing and it will grow right through them. - Plausible
3. A Video online claims that 2.5 grams of a certain element will cause the same bang as a grenade. - Busted
4. Drinking brandy while cold will warm you up. - Busted

I'm about to watch it right now.

Didn't they have a marathon not long ago?

Always been curious about the Bamboo thing ever since I heard it and the brandy one is pretty common sense.

Drinking brandy actually warms up your skin temperature, but to do so, it lowers your core temperature, so really it doesn't warm you at all. It actually speeds u your freezing to death.

I have no fav...I usually like something in each episode.

Yep thats why St Bernards dogs never actually carried a little bottle of alcohol.

Mine does.

Why, is that weird?

Hey, you know what I just thought of? We should all think about some new myths for them and then send them in. Anybody got an idea?

I already submitted a myth on their forums. Most of the other members there slapped it down, so mine didn't work.

It was about that scene form Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull when Indiana survived a nuclear bomb by hiding in a lead lined refrigerator. I wanted to see if they could create the same type of damage that a nuke would cause to the refrigerator (Minus the radiation) and then take it to the place where they tested the bug ruler of the world myth to see if the fridge would keep out enough radiation to keep someone inside alive. The members on the website claimed that it would be impossible to recreate the type of damage a nuke would cause without actually using a nuke.

Think they might have a point, lol, but the radiation thing was a good idea.

Well, since Mythbusters haven't made any new episodes lately, why don't we talk about our favorite episodes? Edit- The Mythbusters have been back for awhile now and have made over 7 new episodes!
